This “Anti-Ouch Pouch” was designed by Deon Maas and is dedicated to her mother, Doris Lock, who taught her to sew. Both women are breast cancer survivors and members of the American Sewing Guild.  This soft pillow is designed to be worn snugly against the underarm area to cushion the area after breast surgery.  The wedge shape gently holds the arm away from the body when the user is standing.  The strap holds the pillow in place without having to use sore arm muscles to “clutch” it.The strap is adjustable and the fiberfill may be adjusted via the overlapped opening.
